Toyota hasn't offered a manual RAV4 since the XA20 which went out of production in 2004. If you want a manual, AWD compact crossover built in the last ten years, your choices are basically a Subaru Crosstrek/Forester, or if you stretch your opinion of crossovers I guess the Golf Alltrack.

Anyone here with a 2016 Ford vehicle who can tell me how I know if I have an updated USB hub that will allow Sync 3 to work with Apple CarPlay? My (used) f150 has a double USB hub with the white borders but I dont know if the original USB hubs have that or not or if theres another way to figure it out. I wont know for sure otherwise until I update Sync 3 to version 3.3 or whatever it is now, as the info section shows it is like 2.0 and it hasnt checked for an update since...2016. Cant imagine that I do have the required USB hub if Sync 3 isnt even updated enough to work with CarPlay, unless Ford shipped vehicles later in 2016 that already had the hub factory installed Fake edit: I guess 2.0 technically would work with CarPlay so Im taking a wild guess I probably do need to update the hub, but updating to sync 3 3.4 will be the first step

So wikipedia seems to think that everything up to and including the XA50 come in a 6-speed manual, but maybe only international (non-US) markets? Certainly if I try to "configure" one on toyota.com there's no option for a manual transmission for any of the models.

You're mostly likely going to need the updated hub. You can pop yours out real quick and check the part number though. F-150 forum seems to say that all 2016 models need the updated hub regardless. https://www.f150forum.com/f118/current-sync-3-carplay-android-auto-information-360660/

Was mostly wondering if the previous owner had done it, but so far it isnt working on 2.0, the first update that worked with CarPlay.

2011 Mazda 3, any idea what would be causing a rattle that sounds like it's coming from the rear passenger wheel well? The noise goes away when I'm on the brake pedal. Nothing appears to be loose or rubbing from casual inspection, at least.

I had a brake caliper that I forgot to tighten all the way, and it would rattle over bumps, unless I had the brakes on. If you have a parking brake mechanism in the caliper, and you checked with the parking brake on, you might not have noticed that the caliper was loose, since it was clamped to the rotor.

STR posted:OBD-1 follows no standards, paperclip method or an old dealer-specific Subaru tool are your only options for DIY. Follow-up on this, turns out on my car there are a couple of wires right next to the diagnostic plug that you stick in one to read the codes and two to clear the codes, my only question is why is this not how everyone did it? It makes so much sense.

I think it's mostly when I go over a bump, sometimes I think I hear it rattling when at low speed, say under 15mph like in a parking lot. I always keep the parking brake on, so if it is the caliper, I'm guessing that's why I missed it before. I'll take a look next time I get down there. Thanks!

Good point. My dad's car had the rear brakes done a few years back, and the caliper bolts came loose, similar thing happened after a bump or something. Lost the caliper and hosed up the flex line. Luckily my brother was driving (he's a really fuckin good driver) and not my dad, who is also a good driver, but is getting old and doesn't have the reaction times of us young'uns.

Yes, luckily it finally gave way cruising at 25 mph on a side street. Its not a good position to be in. It was very much my fault too (tried to hustle through the job and gave them a good grunt rather than the specified torque), but luckily I only ended up poorer, not injured.

Does the brake pad indicator that squeals when it needs to be replaced squeal when you brake or when the car is in motion? Asking because I hear a squeal only when my car is moving but not when braking.

Budget Dracula posted:Does the brake pad indicator that squeals when it needs to be replaced squeal when you brake or when the car is in motion? It's a piece of metal that touches your rotor, so yes....the rotor needs to be moving to hear it, which means the wheel(s) need to be spinning. Are you saying that when you car is in motion you hear squealing but that stops when you car is still in motion if you are applying the brakes?

I've got the Mazda 3 from a couple of pages ago, took it to my mechanic and he said it definitely sounded like my lifters. He said it was a total pain in the rear end to change them and that the amount of time it would take for him (1 man shop, single space garage) to do it he'd end up having to charge ~$1000, which is probably better saved up for a clutch down the line. Is there a consensus on running seafoam in the oil to quiet down loud lifters? I'm seeing people reccomend that in other places but I'm pretty skeptical of those quick fixes and don't want to cause any damage.

It was way too cold and windy to jack it up in a parking lot and take the wheel off. I'm pretty sure it's not a loose caliper though. Not a big deal though. With covid and all I drive like 3 miles a week and I can just use my partner's Jeep in the meantime. I'm currently shopping for new tires, so I'm just gonna have the garage take a look when I get the tires put on.

95 subaru impreza L, wagon, 1.8L AWD, no ABS I've got a clicking noise coming from my front right CV when I turn the wheel, and yup sure enough the outer CV is torn badly enough that it's completely come off on the wheel side. everything around it is covered in a fine layer of grease. have heard from a subaru specialist mechanic on youtube that he has had bad experiences with remanufactured axleshafts for a lot of subarus, says they have lovely tolerances and have caused noise and vibration in cars he's used them on in the past, and that he always prefers replacing the boot on the factory axle, or replacing with a junkyard axle if that isn't an option. questions: 1) does the noise automatically mean it's not salvagable? or can i regrease it, see if that stops the sound temporarily, and if so, replace the boot, and continue on my merry way? 2) Does what i heard square with what yall have experienced with reman axleshafts? subaru-specific insight preferable but any personal experience with any make or drivetrain is appreciated.

Once it's making noise, it's toast. And yeah, Subarus and reman axles seem to give them the shakes. My Outback had a fairly new Napa axle on one side when I got it, and it was like a paint shaker accelerating. It still has an aftermarket axle, but it's a new one now, not reman.

dddddouble post. Frontend kit just showed up for the Matrix. Is.. is it really just 6 bolts? 2 for the LCA itself, 3 to attach the ball joint to the LCA, 1 for the ball joint to knuckle. If that's it, I'm really tempted to just leave the ball joints in the knuckles and reuse them - the OEM Toyota ones are probably far better than the no-name poo poo I got with this.

Seafoam was always placebo nonsense; it's just a solvent blend and not even a very good one. What you want is a bottle of Rislone 4102, which is solvents and acids and a buttload of detergent. It's a little hard to get the full quart in if you aren't burning oil, and you don't wanna run it more than 1000 miles or so before changing the oil again. Then drive it until it blows up and do a 2.5 swap

Ceramic tint is good poo poo but don't ever use anything but mild soap on it or it starts flaking off hardcore. Learned that lesson the hard way with my Fit and Incredible Glass's aerosol spray.

A good junkyard part with solid boots or a new one from the parts store of your choice would still be my vote. I think itd be worth trying one, and its a lot cleaner than rebuilding them.

My EGR system is throwing a code, when the engine is cold it idles rough and I smell fuel but when it warms up it idles smoothly and I don't smell any fuel. My initial thought is that probably means the valve is gunked up just enough to be a problem before thermal expansion happens and the gunk softens from the heat. As the valve itself is NLA that means I'm pulling it and giving it a scrubbing, but that also means I want to make sure that I'm not doing anything that's going to gently caress up the valve. It's a solenoid-actuated valve, I'm thinking of getting some pipe cleaners or similar and a bottle of throttle body / carb cleaner. Are there any gotchas on this kind of job that could result in me loving up my valve? The gaskets are still available but the valve itself isn't, so if I have to replace the gaskets I can at least.

Replace PCV while you're at it. Every mid-90s car I've ever worked on would throw EGR codes when it was sipping oil through the PCV. A little more detail on what vehicle would help.
